Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1547
The young man went by the name of Beau Mabart, and he was a rich young heir with a gentlemanly temperament.
The Mabarts themselves were one of the Jenna Province’s prestigious families, and they owned assets worth at
least a billion and five hundred million dollars. With that in mind, it was no wonder that Beau had his education
overseas, specifically in the United Kingdom and France.
Even so, the Mabarts were naturally inferior compared to the Lock family who owned the Dragon Squad. Due to
that, Beau had only been able to get aboard a minor passenger ship on his way here. After all, only those with the
highest of reputations were allowed to board the main ship of the fleet.
Regardless, pretty much everyone there was aware of Beau’s infatuation toward Fia. With that in mind, they began
sizing Gerald up as well when they heard Beau’s question, hoping to be able to enjoy his misfortune.
“I don’t know him… Sia’s the one who invited him to join the party on Shrine Island together!” replied Fia with a
slight frown.

Gerald and Beau, she found Gerald to be much more unbearable. After all, despite her presence, Gerald had
remained quiet throughout their journey here.
His silence had led her into thinking, ‘Is he trying to catch my attention by remaining silent? Does he really think
that playing cat and mouse will work on me? You clearly don’t understand your target!’
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she got.
Due to Gerald, however, she now found Beau considerably less annoying compared to how she had previously
perceived him to be. Upon taking a closer look, he even seemed much more mature and solemn…
Either way, when Beau saw how Fia was treating Gerald, his heart eased up considerably as he said, “…I see!
Regardless, I’m assuming he’s a descendant of some prestigious family, right?”
While he was pleased to know that Fia wasn’t acquainted with Gerald, it didn’t change the fact that Beau had only
been able to get aboard the regular ship. Gerald, on the other hand, had been able to take the main ship despite
him wearing such shabby clothes. Due to that, it was no mystery why Beau was feeling so jealous. With that in
mind, he felt the need to gain as much information about Gerald as soon as possible.
Realizing that Beau was trying to target Gerald, Sia quickly changed the topic by saying, “That’s quite enough
questions for now, Beau! I just dragged him along to have fun with us since he appeared all moody and alone
earlier! Let’s just try to get to know each other! Who knows, we could end up becoming friends in the future!”
Hearing that, they began talking about other topics though Gerald simply opted to stand at the side.
Observing the island’s scenery, Gerald had to admit that he was now in a much better mood after following them
here.
His head now much clearer, he thought about how his aloof demeanor could have given off the wrong impression
that he was trying to give Sia the cold shoulder despite her being so kind to him. With that in mind, he decided to
join in on their conversations with a slightly brighter mood, just to show Sia his appreciation.
Before he was able to do so, however, at least a dozen loud and simultaneous ‘bangs’ could suddenly be heard!
Following that, confetti and streamers began fluttering down atop everyone’s heads, making the port look
particularly magnificent at that moment.

lost friend! We finally get to meet again today!”
“Yosef!”
“Beau! It’s truly been ages since we’ve last met face to face! I’ve been waiting for you for a while now, you know?
Now then, let’s get this party started!” declared Yosef Jenks—the extraordinarily dressed man who was evidently
Beau’s friend—as he gave Beau a bear hug.
The fact that both of them had been responsible for organizing this event’s amusement had brought them closer
than ever.
Following a hearty laugh, Beau then looked at Fia before saying, “Allow me to introduce Young Master Yosef Jenks to
you, Fia! Actually, I think I already mentioned him to you earlier… He’s the one I befriended while studying abroad
in France! Regardless, his family’s been living in Yanam for a few generations now, and it’s even closely involved
with the International Martial Arts Association! As additional information, his family owns assets worth nearly fifteen
billion dollars as well!”
Upon hearing that, everyone found themselves looking at Yosef with their mouths wide open.
Everyone already knew about the Jenks family’s influence in Yanam. Even so, to think that Young Master Jenks was
actually close friends with Beau!
